I’ve only had three jobs in my life.

Ranch work on my Da’s cattle ranch.
Commercial modeling (catalogs)
Three different bands with paid gigs

I’ve never had a nine to five job where you clock in or anything.

@DarkHeaven bands? you sing?

@DarkHeaven which one tho? I've seen amazing guitarists try to sing and fail miserably because they were soo narcissistic to leave the front man to a cute boy with a good voice.. oor.. I'm not gonna say the other one 😁
@Londonn I treasure my anonymity here and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

@DarkHeaven what?
@Londonn Naming my bands would lead directly to me. I don’t want that.

@DarkHeaven when I asked as which one; I only asked if you were a guitarist who fakes singing or a singer who fakes playing the guitar.. pls answer anonymously :)
@Londonn I’ve been playing guitar since I was 15, so like twenty years at this point. I’ve been singing my whole life. I’m a decent guitar player but I’m a really talented singer and writer. I could hold my own playing in the band but I was by far the weakest player (and honestly the weakest instrumentalist in general for the whole band, as the keyboardist and drummer were off the hook.) The rhythm guitarist, my boyfriend at the time, was one of the most talented musicians I had ever played with and our bassist was easily the most talented guitarist that I’ve ever played with. Self taught and couldn’t read music but he could play anything. So, I’m not really fake playing or singing… but if your asking where my bigger talent was… I’m a singer and lyricist first, guitarist second, for sure.

@DarkHeaven ok a narsistic singer 😂🤣 only I can understand what you just wrote, if you took a minute to read my post
@Londonn Oh, I’m a control freak. I ain’t gonna lie. When we’d perform somewhere, sometimes the sound guy would step around me to ask one of the “guys” how we wanted levels set, they’d throw their arms and point at me and say “You gonna get us killed, dude. Nobody messes with the sound but her. She’s crazy about it. She may look cute and sweet but she will eat you alive.”
@Londonn With the stuff we played, sound levels could make it sound great… or like trash. I was kind of a freak about it.
